Systems Monitoring Software is an umbrella term that includes individual system monitoring tools. These tools are designed to manage a company’s IT system in a centralized fashion and can be operated remotely. System monitoring software is a core offering of many managed server providers (MSP).
These tools perform a variety of more granular functions that fall under network and application monitoring. System monitoring tools also monitor a range of devices including servers, storage devices, desktop computers, printers, and mobile devices. All of these monitoring activities provide notifications for technicians when there is a network failure or system malfunction. They also are able to generate reports which analyze the system’s performance data.
